Modulzuordnungen

Kommentar/Beschreibung

Reading and writing are fundamental skills that have empowered individuals and societies to thrive. They have given people the independence to make informed decisions, participate fully in civic life, and pursue their passions and interests. Throughout American history, reading and writing skills have played an important role in shaping the country's social, cultural, and economic landscape. From the early Puritan settlers, who promoted literacy as a key to spiritual enlightenment, to modern efforts to foster personal autonomy by giving people the ability to access a broad range of written sources, Americans have consistently valued the importance of reading and writing skills.

This course will explore the complex ways in which reading and writing skills have been used to promote social mobility and civic engagement, as well as to exert social control. Students will have opportunities to study the historical and cultural contexts that have shaped reading and writing practices in American culture, and develop a better understanding of the complex relationships between literacy, power, and identity in American society.
